oh my god, the life of a v-dub nut is never dull.  what a week it has been with 3 cars now changing hands. It started with me selling my mk2 (gutted), had a great result half way through and bought a splitty, and ended up with me buying a mk1 gti today.
so in the space of six days i have sold a mk2 and bought a awsome splitt-screen and a cleanish mk1 gti for me to play with. I think i might need to do a bit of overtime now!! :grin:

Is it me or does the whole aircooled/watercooled car/van scene seem to be merging a lot more these days???
Personally I couldn't imagine being without my golf or my T25 these days!

Good move with the split Gary, they rule, although somehow I'd of had to hang onto the mk2.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

i dont think im going to need breakdown cover for the mk1 for a while, at the moment it is just a shell, ive got big plans for her though including a big engine conversion, if anybody knows of a good one then let me know. I dont wanna be cutting the car about too much so i dont want anything like a vr6 engine. I

I like the sound of 2.0l 16v turbo's  :evil: - long term thats my aim,  a N/A 16v is going to see me through till then - which is pretty much a straight bolt in job with a little bit of wiring and some chopping about of hoses - check my sig-pic to see how i'm getting on  :cool:

TAKING THE SPLITTY AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND DOWN TO CORNWALL, THAT SHOULD PUT THE TRUSTY AIR COOLED TO THE TEST, I CANT WAIT , I BLOODY LOVE DRIVING IT!!!!!!!

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD USE YOU LOT FOR A BIT OF BRAIN STORMING, THE QUESTION IS THIS::  WHAT COLOUR SHOULD A SPRAY THE MK1. I LIKE METALLIC PAINT, I WAS THINKING MAYBE A REALLY DARK GREEN, ALMOST BLACK. THE OTHER COLOUR I LIKED IS THE PASTEL YELLOW COLOUR, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE SEEN IT LOADS BEFORE

ANY IDEAS???????????????????????
